Said this in another thread, but if you think WTT is about the good life and flossing then you really aren't paying attention to the lyrics.

IMFA is a bonus track...reason being it doesn't really fit in with the overall theme of the album. But we can still look at the end of the verse to see substance and not flash:
"usually you have this much taste you're European, this the end of that way of thinking "king" never again"
My fault son, I was a lil slow on the trigger. You got itOriginally Posted by grittyman20
I just posted the same exact thing...but I said "king" cause the N word isn't in my vocabulary anymore
Guess Rolling Stone wasn't listening either :Originally Posted by RavageBX

Selective listening fam. Some people hear what THEY wanna listen to and take hints out of context.
Even on songs like NIP which is one of the THREE out of 12 tracks that dedicate themselves to swag and stuntin, Jay's saying lines like "Ball this $%+ weird, WE AIN'T SUPPOSED TO BE HERE, ball so hard since we we here, it's only right that we be fair" and "Ball so hard I'm shocked too, I'm supposed to be locked up too, if you escaped what I escaped, you'd be out in Paris gettin' #%#%#% up too"
And yet this album to some people is just about money
The same Rolling Stone mag that named Eminem hip hop king? Yeah.Originally Posted by gambit215

More often we hear about "big rocks" and "gold bottles" – which, by the way, rhymes with "scold models." In the midst of an early 21st-century Great Recession, the vicarious experience of opulence may be enough for Jay's and Kanye's millions of fans. But on a record this ambitious, this sonically bold, it's a shame two of music's greatest storytellers don't extend their gaze beyond their own luxe lives.

apples and oranges.
WTT is lacking when it comes to that "oh S!!! Jay ripped that verse" type way. yea it sounds good, but (i really (dont know how to describe it )Jay/ye actually had a "lot more" meaningful content, but the rhymes were so basic it was pretty sad. Not Jay like at all.
Nas spit a lot of powerful content on DR, but that S!!! is kinda boring. Im sure Damien ripped a bunch of verses, but i honestly cant tell what the F!!! he is saying.
id say theyre equal if i had to vote today but i would rather listen WTT more/often.
word...when the title track for "welcome to jamrock" came out and i actually listened to what he was saying - had me likeOriginally Posted by 757bred

But back to the topic at had, Distant Relatives is better imo. WTT really didn't really do anything different or impressive in my eyes. Listening to it was like listening to verses I'd heard before in a way. DR was a nice change of pace and did something to add a little balance/common man's perspective to music.

In y'all's opinion, what are the best songs from WTT?
...DR?
